CrossFit Journal | "2003 Interview with Coach Greg Glassman"

<p><strong>Coach Glassman:</strong></p> <p><strong>Gymnasts</strong> have no peer in trunk and hip flexion, upper-body strength in multiple joint angles, agility, accuracy, balance, coordination. Their domain is body control.</p> <p><strong>Weightlifters</strong> are masters of power, speed, and hip and leg strength. Powerful hip extension is the most critical element of human performance and none have the capacity of the weightlifters.</p> <p><strong>Sprinters</strong> have enormous physical potential due to their metabolic competency across anaerobic and aerobic pathways and because of the speed, power, and total conditioning that sprinting demands.</p> <p>Blending workouts from each domain gives us a total greater than the sum of the parts – a gorgeous hybrid.</p> <p>CrossFit Journal Article: </p> <p> http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/05_03_Interview_Glassman.pdf</p>
